The whole thing was just nasty. We got into our first apartment and the whole thing smelt of smoke and just felt musky which is funny because the one rule they have is to not smoke in the rooms. They moved us into a third floor room which we thought would be an upgrade but we were shocked to find the opposite. The bed was rock hard and the bed cover had a huge stain that looked like a piss stain. The blanket inside the cover had many cigarette burns and the sheets were coarse and rough. The tv was about 20 years old and the room lacked the common things found in normal rooms like a fridge, microwave, and even a safe. It was the bare minimum of everything and the shower was tough to figure out since they switched the cold and hot tubes so hot was cold and cold was hot. Just a terrible experience and woul never stay here again

I shouldn’t complain too much cuz it was only 10 minute walk to dntwn area where the Indy Grand Prix was @. For $200 ave/night it seemed like a lot for place was just there. Dings & wall patches(lots)in walls, different grout colors in same area, a cigarette burn in bedspread, thin(but clean) small towels, loud creaking squeaking doors & bed springs, the thinnest walls I’ve ever seen(those last 2 make for an interesting combo lol), & not a single picture or decoration in room. But the owner was nice, the sheets & towels were clean & smelled fine, the Wi-Fi worked great, & we had a close place to stay when booking only a week before event…so given the same conditions I would do it again. I would not if not pressed for time & the need to be close to dntwn. I’m also guessing the price wud be more reflective of the property if there wasn’t a 150k person event eating up the rooms in the area(supply & demand … remember Econ 101? - fair is fair.) Also strange or @ least new to me was the request for a $100cash damage deposit to be returned after inspection @ checkout. He ran my visa at checkin. The inspection was fast w/ a phn call to housecleaning, but now I will need to follow it up to make sure I receive the credit back to my card. I asked if I get a credit for cleaning a quarter size spot on the bedspread (by soaking w/h2o which erased it completely); but he didn’t think it was as funny as I did. I think the owner means well, it’s just tough to run a self owned biz these days.

*important….they make you give $100 in CASH ONLY to hold so you don’t smoke in room. They inspect the room in am. NEVER had this at any other property and it was not disclosed when making reservation on Expedia. Wanted me to pay $40 to check in early even though the room was ready. Settled on $20. Bathroom had worn and rusty fixtures. Bedroom furniture outdated. Bed was hard. Not motel’s fault but was awakened to toddler screaming and domestic incident, police were called. Management returned $20 early checkin fee at my request for inconvenience. Staff pleasant.

The check-in process is antiquated and took forever. Required a $100 cash deposit to check-in and there is no ATM on-site. Then upon departure you are required to go back to front office to get the $100 back (after front desk confirms you did not smoke in your room). The hallway smelled clean and the room was clean. Parking area in the back alley is covered in urine. Rooms overlooking the alley can be noisy at night.

Absolutely WILL NOT stay again!
The room was under construction, flooring was unfinished, sink was not caulked, walls patched but not painted, it stunk and to top it off I needed a fridge for medication and had to pay to use the fridge or they said I could use the community fridge to put my medication in. They also made us wait 3 hours for our room after just flying all morning, when clearly they were not booked and had plenty of rooms available!
